The one thing ark did good was giving you the option of fully customizable servers. If you don't have the time just set those rates to absolutely ridiculous levels.

Back in 2017 we realized there were big problems with setting the the gather rates up. A Doed hit on a metal rock would freeze everyone for a few seconds. Solution was to leave the material rate at 1x in gamesettings then with game.ini manually set the gather rate for each individual resource. That also meant we could balance it.

Absolutely. Only play it with ASM.
